Hi meenakshi​, refer  screenshot. I couldn't change to different color for the checkmark. I can change others (eg. Line/ measurement length & area, etc) properties color except this checkmark. Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Version 11.0.16.13 Window 7.
Thanks!

Ah yes. You cannot change the color of that particular checkmark. That's because it is a custom stamp (a graphic). All PDF annotations can have a particular color assigned to them, and for all the other types of annotations, it makes sense and the annotations display in whatever color is assigned to them. But for stamps (because they are graphics), if you want custom colors, you'll need to make them yourself. You can still assign them colors, so that they can be sorted by color, but those assigned colors have nothing to do with what the stamps actually look like.

Alternatively, you can use a sticky note with a checkmark icon. That way, you can assign a color to it, and it will behave as expected. But the downside to that is that sticky notes are not scalable in size (as stamps are).
